AUBURN — Leland E. Verrill, 62, of Litchfield, passed away on July 4 in Auburn.

He was born June 25, 1951, in Brunswick, to parents Albert and Dora (Tufts) Verrill.

Leland was a hard working construction worker, foreman and heavy equipment operator for several different companies. He enjoyed helping others. His motto was if you were willing to learn, he was ready to teach. Leland took many under his wing and turned them into hard workers.

He was a fun-loving, kind-hearted, generous man who loved his family dearly. He enjoyed going to his brothers camp, fishing, cooking for other people, playing Scrabble, and being a prankster as the grandchildren call it. He really enjoyed watching others laugh and smile.

Leland is survived by his daughter, Paula Mosher of Litchfield; two sons, Marcus Verrill of Litchfield and Eric Verrill of Auburn; three grandchildren, Britani Mosher of Litchfield, Christopher Mosher Jr. of Litchfield and Ralph Mosher of Augusta; two great-grandchildren; one sister, Barbara Green of Maryland; three brothers, Leon Verrill and wife, Gene, of Michigan, Leslie Verrill and wife, Rosemary, of Bowdoinham and Michael Verrill and wife, Donna Durham; and several nieces and nephews.

His children would like to give a special thank-you to Leslie Verrill for his extra support and the excellent staff at the Hospice House.
